The Travel Medallion is one of the most useful features of the Pura Pad in Tears of the Kingdom, as it allows you to place a warp point anywhere on the map, then you can fast travel there whenever you like. The Travel Medallion returns from Breath of the Wild, but you have to go through a quick quest to get it, and today I am going to walk you through all the quest steps, so you can fast travel to any location in Zelda Tears of the Kingdom.

To get access to the Travel Medallion, you’ll want to upgrade the Pura Pad for the advanced features, given to you by Robbie. You will need to finish up a couple of quests early in the game to get access to this, and they include “Camera Work in the Depths” and “A Mystery in the Depths”. Both of these quests can be accessed by speaking to Robbie and Josha in Lookout Landing and following the quest steps. You want to get to the point where you fix Robbie’s Balloon at the end of “A Mystery in the Depths”, so Robbie can return to Hateno Village. Once you do this you’ll be able to access the Hateno Village Research Lab quest, and this is how to access the various upgrades to the Pura Pad, including the Travel Medallion.

Hateno Village Research Lab quest

Make your way to Hateno Village from Lookout Landing, and have a chat with Robbie. He’ll explain the advanced features that are available. To get the Travel Medallion, he sends you off to Akkala Ancient Tech Lab in Akkala, which is at the north eastern part of Hyrule. The Travel Medallion can open up to 3 travel points, but you do need to upgrade it by opening up Skyview Towers to have the Travel Medallion at it’s full potential.

Robbie opens up a fast travel point at Hateno Lab, which makes it nice and easy to get back. However, you have to make your way to Akkala on your own. You can walk, run, or preferably fly there using a flying machine you can build with Ultrahand. If you have unlocked the autobuild ability, then you can build a balloon and get there nice and quickly. If you have been to that part of Hyrule already and opened up a shrine, then fast travel there, also the Ulri Mountain Skyview Tower is a good place to warp to if you can, and you can paraglide much of the way to the Akkala Ancient Tech Lab, which will be marked on your map as part of the quest. If all else fails you can walk, it’s a good chance to get some shrines and open up some towers on the way.

Akkala Ancient Tech Lab

Once you have made it to the lab (coordinates 4510, 3153, 0247) you have to get ready for a fight with the Yiga Clan. Two enemies will stop you from entering the Akkala Ancient Tech Lab, so you’ll want to take them out by any means neccessary. After you have beaten the Yiga Clan members, pick up the loot they dropped and ente the lab.

How to get the Travel Medallion

Have a chat with Konba, a fashion designer who will give you the Yiga Armor. He’ll then leave, and you want to find the chest next to the workbench and notebooks. Open up the chest and you’ll get the Travel Medallion Prototype.

Now you have this, make your way back to the Hateno Research Lab and have a chat with Robbie. He says this is great, but it can be upgraded. You’ll need 10 map locations for a second travel gate, and 15 for a third. To upgrade it simply visit all the Skyview Towers in Hyrule and unlock them, and you’ll be doing this anyway to uncover the map of Hyrule, so just remeber to go back to see Robbie when you have done 15 to get the full benefits of the Travel Medallion. You can drop travel points when you need on the map and also delete them too from the map screen.
